At Christmas it was so exciting to see how magical she found everything. She had amazing stories about Santa and his reindeer. She also lost her first tooth over the holidays which brought the Tooth Fairy. Another magical event! Realizing how quickly they outgrow this wonderful stage as I have witnessed with my older son, I wanted to create this magical fantasy birthday party for her. I know that she pays attention to all details and would truly appreciate the effort I put in to make this fairy tea party come real. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She was too cute, making me sit down with her and we both had a piece of paper and a pen. We discussed who she wanted invited, what she wanted for snacks, the decorations, the games and of course the cake! We did use google to our advantage and came across some really inspiration ideas that we could make at home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am not one for spending a ton of money on a birthday, but I am the kind of person who will go and figure out how to do something for next to nothing. I made the pom poms which hung from the ceiling, utilized my cricut to make the Happy Birthday sign and I utilized some of my scrapbook stack that was calling my name. From google we found a new snack we had never tried. Oreo balls, man were they good!! I loved them , so did everyone else!! I covered some small chocolate bars with scrap paper to match the party colors and decorated the dining room to match the theme. I found some cute jars for the candy at the thrift store. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> On Alyvia's menu (which I didn't get pictures of) was bruschetta on a baguette, homemade pizza, a veggie tray, Oreo balls, milk chocolate bars, chocolate covered raisins and caramel kisses. The kids loved the dessert buffet! What kid wouldn't, it was all chocolate, my favorite! lol. To me parties don't need to be expensive...just be creative! I probably spent about $100 on this party, that included all the food, beverages, cake, decorations, games, everything! Pretty darn good, I think and my pretty princess loved it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The cake Alyvia designed was to match the occasion. She wanted a big tea cup on top of a round cake with a fairy in the cup. I didn't think it looked very good, so I put the fairy down beside the cup. Her design also didn't have anything on the front of the cake, so I added the swag to make the cake flow better. She also had wanted a brown horse at the bottom of the cake. This part, I was just so exhausted I didn't quite get to it. Alyvia was fine without the horse, next year maybe! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My family and I had a wonderful holiday season filled with lots of love and laughter! We've been really getting into board games as all three of our children can play now. Even though Aidan is only 3, he is quite good at Jenga or as he calls it Jinga! lol. It's a great game that doesn't last too long and kids loose the patience to finish, but can be played over and over again in whatever time frame we choose. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She ordered this cake as part of a surprise birthday celebration for her husband. She surprised him with a 10day guided trip moose hunting in the Yukon! What husband wouldn't love that!! I was so pleased she chose me to help with her party. The cake was fun to make...I am not a fan of making manly cakes, even though I am getting more and more orders for cakes for men lately. I struggled getting the moose horns to stay on and am happy they stayed put even with the 2 hour drive to the city. The cake was a chocolate cake with a caramel filling. First time trying out caramel.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">"<em>The caramel was good! It actually tasted like a maple fudge more than a caramel but we really liked it. I think it was the texture or the thickness that made it 'fudge' like. But the cake was really delicious!! It never lasted long!"</em></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>"You rock! Seriously! Wowzers!!! I'll send you some pics soon but you amaze me. Glen was really impressed and so surprised!

I have got to watch this movie!! It seems to be a favorite among many kids. This little guy loved the aliens from the movie, so we focused on them. The cake was french vanilla. I am getting a bit better at my figurine creations, they are still a bit dry looking, but I am slowly figuring this out. I really love the look of the cake even though my pics don't show that the top tier was much lighter than the bottom, oh well... one day I will learn some photography skills.</div><br />

Thank goodness it was for a friend of mine who understood what I was going though and we changed the look of the cake. Initially I wanted the cake to look like the toy that is on top of this one. Since last year I did his Buzz Lightyear car and it turned out great, I thought why not try again this year! The Battle Force 5 cake with Captain Kalus' car on top was a success as he did not know what his cake was going to look like. It was actually nice to make a buttercream only cake, but I did add fondant for the accents.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I love the look of this cake!! The client just told me she wanted a white cake with a wed drawn on it and spiderman's face in the middle. I thought having the face more of a 2D look instead of flat would make a bigger statement! It was not a heck of a lot more work and just makes spiderman stand out more without the web taken over him. I made this cake the morning of the party because my sister and I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning scrapbooking...I just wasn't in the cakey mood! lol I attended the party with my three kidlets and got alot of great comments. I was also referred to as the cake lady by a few women introducing me! lmao! </div>Andrea Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02123121737169619964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977263955571851184.post-49931492498191265482010-12-16T12:17:00.001-07:002011-01-22T18:47:31.625-07:00Flour, eggs, sugar and BUTTER!!<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Sometimes looking back at my grocery list people who don't know I make alot of cakes, must wonder... I purchase a lot of flour, eggs, sugar and butter. I usually get someone to pick up the butter in the city where it is much cheaper and I get them to buy 30lbs at a time. They must look pretty funny pushing that shopping cart around with all that butter. lol. Thanks Steph!! A 10 lb bag of flour lasts less than a month sometimes and a 10 lb bag of sugar only a few weeks. For the month of December, I took on only a few cakes at the beginning of the month and then it was break time for me. I noticed my grocery bill drastically decrease!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The cake isn't perfect or up to my expectations that's for sure. I made it the morning of the party in only a few hours, because there was so much more to do.

I think it turned out absolutely amazing. I love the color choice of the bride as well as having the black tier to offset the white. The entire cake was cake...no styrofoam. This baby was heavy. I had to deliver it to Edmonton, which is about 2 hours south of where I live, on a very hot, humid August day! With my luck, my truck's air conditioning crapped out and I had to run to my sister for help. She drove me and the cake safely there. It was a nerve racking trip for sure! Once there and all set up, I was filled with pride of my accomplishment. I had to share a few more pics! </div><br />

He couldn't decide for weeks on end what kind of cake to have. I could imagine being a kid with a mom who makes all sorts of cakes, trying to figure out exactly what to have and what will be the coolest. He finally, the day before his birthday decided on this. He handed me the smallest little lego figurine and asked my to replicate it for his cake. I excitedly took on the challenge and added a few Lego blocks around to add color. The cake was such a hit. My nephew said he couldn't stop starring at the cake, it was just so cool! lol</div><br />

I think I use that as my excuse all the time! lol. Not sure how else to explain myself. It's not that I haven't made cakes, I've made MANY!! I really need to get my butt in gear and post all of them. I am very proud of my accomplishments this summer with over ten weddings and numerous birthday and theme cakes, oh and some new adult cakes. I've learned new techniques and tried new tools. It's great to look back and reflect on where I started with cakes, not even having it in mind that I would ever create this many cakes in my life! It all started with my son's 1st birthday cake just under 2 years ago and now I have created over 100 cakes...I should count them one day! :D </div><div style="text-align: center;">I will post a few now and then when I get the chance, which hopefully will be soon, I will post the rest. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my cake creations!! :)</div><br />

The groom forgot the flowers and I could not make it there the next day to put on the flowers. The flowers were suppose to be turquoise gerbera daisies, which would've looked awesome on this cake!! But, the next day the flowers were forgotten about again and they improvised with some small white daisies out of the bride's flower bed. They did not get a picture of the cake, so this is all I have. A little disappointing, but whatever. Anyways...the rubber boot and moccasin I thought were such a cute idea. I molded these out of fondant. The rubber boot was to symbolize the groom being from the East Coast and the moccasin to symbolize the bride being of Metis status. </div><br />

I finally got my pans in just in time for this one. It was a pleasure to make a cake for a friend I hadn't seen or talked to in probably 8 years. Turns out she doesn't even live that far away either! I had a chuckle when I saw the cake topper she picked out. It reminds me of when we were in England together just over 10 years ago. Fun Times... The pedestals were a heirloom passed down from a few generations and I am glad we could fit them into the design she wanted. I had never used pedestals before, so I was a bit iffy, but they make the cake look amazing!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've never had such a busy weekend for orders!! It seems there is always one weekend out of every month that everyone seems to want to have their celebration of some sort. For June it was on the 26th and 27th. I had so many orders coming in, I had to decline about 4, which I really hate doing, but I'd already committed to far too much. I had 6 cakes, 6!! What was I thinking?? And to top everything off I had to go camping with Austin's class on Wednesday, we brought home <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Alyvia's</span> new pony and colt and my husband left for a 3 day fishing trip. It was one crazy week!</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The weather was very humid which created a lot of problems in my house with the cakes. Once I laid the fondant over the <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">buttercream</span> the cake instantly began to sweat. Now, this has never happened to me before and I was very clueless on what to do. Most of the cakes became super sticky and gross. I did eventually set up a fan in the house and it helped a bit. On one of the 2-tiers, it was so yucky, when I put the 2nd tier on, everything went down hill. The bottom tier began to collapse and I had to quickly remove the top tier. The bottom tier however had to be stripped of the fondant and re-iced (all the lettering was already done too!). I was just about ready to cry!</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All in all, the cakes did get finished with all the hurdles that I was forced to jump. I've learned to never take on as many cakes as I did. I became too overwhelmed and frustrated.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had a huge wedding order and one birthday cake. I really didn't want to be inside baking on such wonderful days, so I paced myself and made what I could ahead of time and crunched everything else into the last day and a half. I was contacted only a couple of months ago to make this wedding cake and cupcakes and I am so glad I had an opening for it. I absolutely LOVE it! The cake was something so different and non-traditional. The butterflies were a new one for me as well, but I love how they turned out :) . I made 150 of them and painted them all with lustre dust. The cake was red velvet on top, french vanilla in the middle and deep chocolate on the bottom.

She saw my cakes somewhere and wanted one for her little guy. Even though the Disney movie Cars has been out for years, the Lightning McQueen is still a favorite for many little boys! Scott is obsessed. He loves McQueen so much that his mom wanted a replica made out of cake. I was pretty excited, well because I've seen <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">alot</span> of cakes on google, but hadn't had my chance to create this one yet. She decided on banana chocolate, which is such a yummy moist cake and worked great for this 3D cake. </div><br />
Austin had soccer on the Saturday and the party was Sunday. I thought we'd be home by 2pm and we didn't get home until 9pm! I hadn't baked the cake yet, never mind made icing or fondant. Yikes, I think I was starting to panic! So I was up until 11pm baking...then had to wait for them to cool. I decided to just go to bed because I was so exhausted from spending almost 10hours in the sun at the soccer tournament. Sunday morning I woke up and got to work. I made the icing, fondant, carved the cake, crumb coated it, iced it, and laid the fondant on all in 4 hours! I was so amazed. I am very happy with this cake and so were the kids at the party. When we brought the cake out, all the kids were screaming and pointing at the cake. They had which part they wanted to eat. It was so cute!<br />

I had a lot of great ideas to make a fire pit and some trees, make the camper look a lot better. I was called the night before and had to move my time up about 6 hours. I wasn't ready for that! I at least had the cake baked, but nothing else done. I would've started the night before, but I didn't get back from a school field trip with my son until 9pm. It was a long, exhausting day. 6 hours on a bus with grade 2 and 3 kids and wearing a back pack full of lunch and water bottles took a toll on me. I am not used to that. It was a great experience, but I'm a tad bit sore. So after that, I wasn't going to being decorating a cake. After I got Austin off to school the next day, I began the cake and ran out of time quickly. Here's what it looked like. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYloGH0suAQty1T-WgS7wH6Mo0IJCcWiTJG-6-fTbPvD09r1KVE1Kv7x2V08ew_8b4bEFz-kvNAJTqxcsuEuxe-eqDnhQcTqLvEh-Y1q6KIBk06CdGcVPSGSUX55MLF4L2N58ggQqM2Y1G/s1600/100_3573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYloGH0suAQty1T-WgS7wH6Mo0IJCcWiTJG-6-fTbPvD09r1KVE1Kv7x2V08ew_8b4bEFz-kvNAJTqxcsuEuxe-eqDnhQcTqLvEh-Y1q6KIBk06CdGcVPSGSUX55MLF4L2N58ggQqM2Y1G/s320/100_3573.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOjlotDQwmC9gdjCGUZrNzT0VdVlIgFMAvXvReHRvyrM9drbHPuDv36zd3d6UOBqjsNhfTgUVxNNlVmJAszsbz0klCgUd7ySy8ELlU7-Op8dSNy0TlsiVNyA37t4HAhyphenhyphenTJbw0-govjBs8v/s1600/100_3575.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOjlotDQwmC9gdjCGUZrNzT0VdVlIgFMAvXvReHRvyrM9drbHPuDv36zd3d6UOBqjsNhfTgUVxNNlVmJAszsbz0klCgUd7ySy8ELlU7-Op8dSNy0TlsiVNyA37t4HAhyphenhyphenTJbw0-govjBs8v/s320/100_3575.JPG" /></a></div>Andrea Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02123121737169619964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977263955571851184.post-47883982408214508272010-05-20T10:59:00.002-06:002010-05-20T11:03:28.863-06:00My Weekend!It was so beautiful outside this past weekend. With +30 Celsius weather and trips to the park, the kids and I loved it! Ryan was up in <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Conklin</span> working, so I was soloing the entire time. On top of making a new flower bed, hauling dirt, playing with the kids, cleaning house, I had five cake orders!! Today I am still exhausted, I just want to sleep for an extra few hours everyday, but Aidan's been waking up at 5:30-6:00am. WHY??? I hope that changes, and quick! Anyways here are the pictures from last weekend.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">So this is my first wedding cake for 2010. I absolutely love it!! A few firsts on this. I only did quilting once before on a birthday cake which didn't turn out, this turned out perfect. I didn't get a chance to make it to the city, so I made my own quilting tool. I used a piece of thick card stock cut to kinda resemble a ruler with a diagonal end, a tool to poke the points into the fondant and a roller tool. It worked, which still amazes me, probably took much longer than it should have, but I did what needed to be done! I also made the calla lilies for the first time. They actually weren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Again, didn't have the right tools, so I made my own cones from printer paper and didn't have a ball roller, so I used a rounded lid. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>"Thank you so much for the beautiful cake Andrea. I absolutely loved it and it tasted great too. Thanks."</em></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, one out of nine wedding cakes done.

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm not really sure what kind of cake this was, the little girl's mom came to me with a a picture of the cake she wanted, but only wanted a one layer cake. I changed it up a bit and made the mask, fan, bow, #5, name flower and <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">hangy</span> things out of <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">gumpaste</span>. I've really enjoyed working with <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">gumpaste</span>, it's <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">alot</span> of fun and I can do <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">alot</span> more with it than fondant. Anyways, back to the cake... She also told her mom she wanted diamonds on the cupcakes. I came by these diamond rings at a dollar store, I could only get 16 though, so I changed up the other cupcakes a bit. I think the rings look pretty cute on the cupcakes.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Back in March I took a scrapbook class and found out I really want to expand my creativity! My sister and I went together and had so much fun, that when another class came up, we jumped at the chance to go. Not only do I get a day break from life, I get to use my brain to create beautiful pages in a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. <a href="http://www.seekingabalance.blogspot.com/"><span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Rebecca</span></a> is so amazing and creative and taught us how to make a mini coil album. I can't stop looking at mine, I LOVE it!! I am so impressed that I actually made it and didn't copy exactly what she did. The first class, I was quite the copy cat, but now I feel I can branch out and try something on my own. I can't wait for the next class!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before all the fun I had today, I was busy for three days baking and decorating.

I love this cake! My calico didn't do as it was suppose to. Originally it was suppose to be a white with grey, black and brown mix, then when I added the black, it turned purple! This isn't Alice in Wonderland! So I just mixed in a few more colors, ended up with grey and then attempted to see what would happen when I put the white, black and brown. It was all the fondant I had left, so I was glad it turned out alright. Marbling is a bit harder than I had anticipated. He was really fun to make and the customer absolutely loved it when she picked it up the next morning!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She asked me if I could create a 3D bird, I think I hesitated before I answered. This could be a <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">toughy</span>!! She told me every year her and her sister compete to see who can get the best cardinal gift for their mom. She said a cardinal cake could never be beat. I was honored to make this! It took a bit of planning and figuring out how to stack the cake and shape the cake into a bird figure. Then came the decorating and making of the feathers. I will admit, this was a challenge, but I am pretty pleased with the end result. The pictures are terrible, but this cake really needs to be seen in person. I was able to try a new technique out, which I always love. I painted the fondant on this cake. The 8" bottom was originally supposed to be white, but I kept dropping red paint on it, so I made it brown. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My niece, <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Teila's</span> birthday was on the 19th. <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Alyvia</span> and I came up with the idea since she was having a garden party. I love it! I also love that I got to use the dessert stand my Grandma gave me, it was hers when she was younger. There was a ice cream cake that went along with this, but my camera is on the blitz and didn't save the pictures I took. It was just white with a big flower in the middle, but the best ice cream cake I've ever had!! It was chocolate caramel chunk with Oreo crust...so good!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my Grandma's 82nd birthday I made her this green embroidery texture cake. She is from Northern Ireland where all is green and loved the color (I kinda messed up on the color, I think it looks more hospital like, <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">lol</span>). This was a new technique I wanted to give a try and I think it would have worked better on fondant, but I only wanted to use <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">buttercream</span>. My son Austin with his Great Grandma and then a picture of some of the great grandchildren with her as well. <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Teila</span> was just about to cry! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thomas the Train. I love this cake! So does my little Aidan, he kept saying "TRAIN, TRAIN!!". I think I know what I'll have to make for him for his 3rd birthday. This past weekend was super crazy. Ryan came home and had hurt his back, so we were running back and forth to hospitals, chiropractors, for a massage, etc, etc...Anyways, I squeezed this cake into my craziness, but didn't even have time to take a good picture of it. I took these when the customer was here to pick up the cake, talk about last minute! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have a lot of weddings coming up this spring, summer and fall. So far, nine! My first one is mid-May and I think I'll get in the wedding groove. Wedding cakes take a lot of time and not only time baking and decorating. There is more time put into sitting with the bride and groom (if he wants to come that is!) and figuring out what they want in a cake. Sometimes this goes quickly, like a cake I booked last week. She was the most awesome bride to be ever and booked her cake in 25 minutes! She didn't car to have a taste testing, she trusted that my cakes are delicious, just by what she's seen and heard. That make l<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">ife</span> a bit easier. But some brides are different, some take months to figure out what they want. That's fine, but I don't think they realize I have a life too and if I charged them for all the consultations and time and effort I've put into their cake, it would be very expensive!! Sorry to vent, I think maybe I am just feeling a little frustrated with everything that's been going on. It feels better to get it out! <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">lol</span>!~</div>Andrea Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02123121737169619964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977263955571851184.post-62423509772736493692010-04-23T20:47:00.001-06:002010-05-10T21:44:13.585-06:00Boobs and Quads<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div>These novelty boob cakes are becoming popular! Another was ordered for a 40th birthday party with specifications to make larger nipples! <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">bahaha</span>, I couldn't not laugh!! :) So she didn't care what the bra top looked like and I wanted to try a zebra print bra and I used a very bright pink. It <strong>looked </strong>awesome, until the next day that is. I had left the cake on a counter locked in a room so I could shower without the kids or I mean Aidan attacking it. When I got out of the shower and finished dressing, I needed to take pics of the cake and went to get it. The entire bra top had faded! It almost looked nude now. So disappointing, but there was nothing I could do. It was only about a 1/2 an hour before pickup and I couldn't recreate it in time, so I left it and apologized to <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Monette</span>. She didn't know what it was suppose to look like in the first place, so she wasn't upset, she loved it! Looking at the pic now, I'm noticing an air bubble on the left boob, darn it! <br />

My house is freezing and my furnace isn't working right now, so how do you heat a cold house?? Baking of course!! This morning I made blueberry saskatoon muffins, which are such a nice treat for breakfast. This kids gobble those up quickly.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I was at my neighbour's place, who loves to cook healthy. I really love finding new recipes or adapting ones to create a healthier alternative for my family. (My cakes are so not healthy!) Anyways, they gave the kids and I a cookie each, which are these chocolate chunk buckwheat cookies. So different, yet so scrumptious! I've never tried buckwheat before, nor do I know a lot about it, but it gives this tasty crunchy texture to the cookies. I quickly asked her for the recipe and had to make some today! I didn't have any whole wheat pastry flour, so I mixed whole wheat flour with white flour. I also reduced the sugar by half and they were still delicious. I'm sharing this recipe, because I am really quite impressed. <br />
<br />
ENJOY!!!<br />

I love first birthday cakes, they are fun and will always be a huge memory! She gave me a list of things he liked and I took the monkey idea, mainly because I love monkeys and I haven't done a monkey cake before. I did a little searching to get some inspiration and came across the cutest cake I'd ever seen. I e-mailed it to Jodi and we decided that was the cake to make. I don't know who to give credit to because there were so many on google that looked similar. I made this cake in the banana chocolate...I thought that was fitting since it was a monkey!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

January<div style="text-align: center;">Twenty ten, two thousand and ten, whatever you want to call it...This was another busy month for me. Wait a minute, it seems every minute of every day of every month is busy for me. I love it. It keeps me on my toes and I can't really say I'm ever bored. Whether it's playing with the kids or doing laundry or making cakes, I'm always doing something! January brought in the new year with such beautiful weather. I am used to it being -30 to -40 and it was so nice we could play outside almost everyday...which my full of energy kids need. Here is what I made in January.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWsKRmwWRC4QxVtKzyAt5T29vdzkpb3j2iJlhQ4x6QQIPOrPbQJV7pCQ77sWoV2vxFsL3KS5P2Pr3tfEg7HHQxaCsJ4CD4e2yXjzFXraWJ7wTrPkdrDWrrhGaJu1mK-9VFJbtvOU3msnf/s1600-h/100_2859.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWsKRmwWRC4QxVtKzyAt5T29vdzkpb3j2iJlhQ4x6QQIPOrPbQJV7pCQ77sWoV2vxFsL3KS5P2Pr3tfEg7HHQxaCsJ4CD4e2yXjzFXraWJ7wTrPkdrDWrrhGaJu1mK-9VFJbtvOU3msnf/s400/100_2859.JPG" vt="true" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It started out with Alyvia's 5th birthday. She loves to plan things and love to create. We made all these treat boxes for her guests at the party. They were so cute, we had to take a picture.

She really loves Halloween and wanted a halloween cake, but I convinced her to pick something different. She chose a wedding cake! Every five year old girl wants a wedding cake! I did my best to make a wedding cake to here specifications. She didn't want it covered in fondant only buttercream and she wanted butterflies. Every wedding cake needs flowers, so we found this flower weath hidden away and it worked perfect. All her friends loved her cake and she was so proud of it! Isn't she beautiful?! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I've never done a cake for twins, so I was pretty excited. There mom contacted me a few months prior and mailed me out the napkin she was using for the party, so I tried to match the cake to it. She didn't really care what I did, she just wanted it girly, pink and sparkly. This was my first time making fondant roses. They do take a while to get the hang of, but eventually I got a few to use. With my follow-up e-mail she told me the cake was delicious!! Always great to hear!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

He loves cake and gets so excited about it! You'd have to know Drayton to get it! lol. Anyways he already pre-ordered his cake about ten times prior to his party. Eventually his mom took over and wanted this car that Buzz Lightyear drives created. I was totally up for the challenge. I knew seeing Drayton's face woud be worth all the effort and it was! He was so happy and didn't notice the parts I left out. I made this cake the night before and was up until 3am. It was a long night. It's not exactly like the toy, but pretty close! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Aidan turned 2!! I still can't believe he is 2 already...feels like yesterday I was bringing him home on a -40 celcius day! Well Ryan and I didn't know what kind of cake to make for him. He really loves Hot Wheels cars and Ryan found this little '69 Chevy in the toy bin. This truck was Austin's and now a favorite of Aidan. So Ryan said "Make this one!". I knew it would be a bit of a challenge, since red and black are not my fav colors to work with. All in all it turned out well. Pretty rushed though, I made this the morning of the party! Me and my leaving it until last minute. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I was so happy when I recieved an order for two! These are really fun to make! I've never made a rolled cake, which was something completely different. One of these was angel food cake with real whipping cream and the other is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling. The customer didn't want them to be overly chocolatey. The meringue mushrooms are so cute. I thought they would be much more difficult to make, but not, only very time consuming. Alyvia even helped make a few. They have a different taste to them, not gross, just different. Maybe it's because I haven't eaten much meringue desserts before.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjVJs1igR29p-fg6ryCuAR3kAWCUlUMmWWzNE16mHTN-grC-TTtgYfSwnBlCHdEUOhCo60BoWJxWgcxg52_4DrpFG5M1ulvmKU-N8RFtY4PPi02oJeQy7HPNZtJ7-cmQQUTrbCE58kg1-d/s1600-h/100_2851.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjVJs1igR29p-fg6ryCuAR3kAWCUlUMmWWzNE16mHTN-grC-TTtgYfSwnBlCHdEUOhCo60BoWJxWgcxg52_4DrpFG5M1ulvmKU-N8RFtY4PPi02oJeQy7HPNZtJ7-cmQQUTrbCE58kg1-d/s400/100_2851.JPG" vt="true" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm on a roll today!! Maybe it's the cold weather keeping me from going outside and doing things. We were spoiled having really nice weather prior to the weekend. Now it's back to -10 celcius and I want the pluses back!! I guess I should be spring cleaning my house while it's colder outside. Blah...who wants to clean? Not me!! I do have one room down and lots to go, eventually it will be complete. Here are more creations mostly from November.</span><br />

This couple ran away to a tropical island for there real wedding and this was the cake for the party they had when they returned. Nikki was a grade lower than me in school, but we've known eachother since we were in elementary. She was my neighbour for years until we moved to town and then we figure skated together until I was in grade 12. I was so happy Nikki asked me to make her cake. This cake was all cupcakes. She wanted something easy that guests could just grab. I have to say, the cake was a bit difficult to make. When I tried icing the top it kept sliding all over the board and I think could have looked better if I knew a better technique. I also wish I would have pushed for her to get some cupcake stands for the mini cupcakes as I think it would have made the display look a lot better. I learned from this that the way cupcakes are displayed really matters! Maybe only to me, but I will from now on push for couples to have stands! The cupcakes were chocolate, vanilla and carrot.<br />

I found it really hard with the gold, so this is what I came up with. Looking at it now, I think it would have looked better with a quilting technique on the sides of the cake. The things you learn as you go I guess. She provided her own cupcakes.<br />

This time a cake and mini cupcakes. This was a lot of work! I hand made all the little cupcake picks which took a while and I also made and decorated the stand.

I love making 1st birthday cakes, I feel they are really special and especially if the parent's are first time parents. They want everything to be perfect! This cake is not by any means my design. I don't remember where I saw it, but I fell in love with it! So different and each tier had a reason for being there. It took about 7 hours to decorate not including baking time or icing, just laying the fondant. That's more than some of the wedding cakes I did! The mom wanted matching cupcakes and by that time I was exhausted so my grass on the cupcakes didn't quite resemble grass, but it was all I could do at that point. The entire cake was done in red velvet as well as the cupcakes.<br /></span></div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivAVYDX3JdfBTf3RtUyYdgMOyJBRqDkpty2nv-7bxKVNF-F6kFRpYGzyrycPp0hyphenhyphenmxhka1XkkXp7_qpkwOeEvfiD0ZRmvBP2BEXhEKT6DMdOkajbWtmWFvPuqfy9x4B6oq1BmxoD1mSBRC/s1600-h/100_2548.JPG"><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451571157956901106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivAVYDX3JdfBTf3RtUyYdgMOyJBRqDkpty2nv-7bxKVNF-F6kFRpYGzyrycPp0hyphenhyphenmxhka1XkkXp7_qpkwOeEvfiD0ZRmvBP2BEXhEKT6DMdOkajbWtmWFvPuqfy9x4B6oq1BmxoD1mSBRC/s320/100_2548.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ff99ff;"> Here are some fun mini cupcakes the kids and I made for Halloween.

This cake was so delish! I made red velvet cake, which was my first time making it, it had SMBC filling with fresh wild blueberries and the chocolate leaves. I had just gone blueberry picking for hours the day before and they were so good inside the cake!</span></div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451566474709959954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnNCSZAe4FT2X2tNpbDrD9p-7o5Tdcv0CCVb56QCQncT74y8mWc-ebubDsN0U17PtSUiQhYIeNRFujYSflXuWz9CiAMq_mYce-0Hg1fP0DiF-zcde9EJI1JHXgI5CGIzE5s9Vy6or9gnKa/s320/100_2296.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;">Another first for this littlest pet shop cake. I wanted to try the color-flow technique and I love the end result! It was at some points hard to keep a steady hand, but I really like how the butterfly is so shiny and colorful.</span></div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451566482943904530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixBFlaG7dHEL3KmmY2yDrldEHGpDneOARVnQ-oUXCeBYdctuF53lPeUIQd7jCZGqDqZARWYS9ny_Hb5cgNGOhTZNItsImfC5gsIS5hT1U1sggDD5FIRZOSnsj5QnLV6te_yDVF6rigZa5g/s320/100_2364.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;">Motorcycle Cake. I don't know anything about motorcycles, so this cake probably is missing some main components, but overall it still looks like a bike to me! :)</span></div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451566725084418946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSp9pXCW9avLdzOZJlv-qs7RvlIucK1gxWFrTcCrxojkhY7K2iu0BRG4Aa7-zt0J1MlegV65-2AW4T-n0dJYFDNPdgRI7fz6VBdx8_uJYHSyuf1AcofMsG5aFtmYHn4m-fM-ovZ8kvN9Xz/s320/100_2426B.jpg" border="0" /></span></div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;">A birthday cake for my sister's mother-in-law. She gave me free reign on the cake, which by the way I LOVE!! I wanted to do a gift cake, they look so neat and I don't really know the birthday girl, so this could be personallized with her favorite colors and B for Bonnie!</span></div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ccccff;">These are my September cakes, I will try and get some more blogged and finally catch up!!</span></div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div>Andrea Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02123121737169619964noreply@blogger.com0
